A little son of John Worth, aged
five years, broke his left leg just above
the ankle last Monday afternoon by
being run over by a heavily laden
cart which his father was driving
Just how the accident happened is a
matter of conjecture, as the father
was entirely unconscious that his child
was near him until startled by his
outcry, and turning, saw that the little
fellow was being carried round on one
Of the wheels of the cart, from which
he fell, and was picked up in the above
mentioned condition. lie was attend
ed By Drs. Norcross and O'Brion, and
is now fully as comfortable as could
be expected. 1t is and has been a
great wonder to us that we have not
had to chronicle similar accidents two
or three times each week from the
reckless way in which young boys
lump on and off not only wagons, but
also the cars every day. Yet we feal
that even this accident will not make
lasting impression on those who
have been accustomed TO taking sucl
risks to life and limb, but we hope i
will, lest similar or even more seri
GUS casualty should happen.

1t is a deplorable fact that in every
community, and we are sorry to add
that Island Pond is no exception, there
is class of people ready to believe ill
of anyone, and draw on their ilnagin-
alton to find the missing link in a
chain of circumstances. 1t is bad
enough to talk of wrong doing when
it occurs, but when innocent people
are mixed up in the slandprous gossip
It's about time to stop the mixing. BE
charitable, and if you cannot speak
good of your neighbors, say nothing
for Islander, like curses, may come
home to roost.

We deeply regret to state that the
condition of Postmaster Woodbury. is
not SO favorable as his many friends
could hope for, his case having as.
sumed more serious aspect within
the past few days. DIR. Robinson of
Coaticook was called as counsel last
week, and his report is far from en-.
couraging, but we all hope for the
best. That Mr.. Woodbury. may yet
recover and be spared to his family
and friends is the earnest wish of our
entire community.

The land at the head of the pond is

1t was commonly reported around
town last week, and generally accept.
ed as the truth, land as such we pub,
lished it, that the Knights of Labor
had protested against the importation
of the Canadian workmen employed
on the Convent building. A letter
from the Il. S. of the local assembly
informs us that the statement was
erroneous, and asks us to make the
correction, which we are glad to do,
both now and at any time when im
accuracies are published in these col
umns. The report evidently arose
from the fact that a member of the
assembly made the protest, but indi
vidually, and not in the name of the
organization.

In the new edition of Worcester's
Dictionary now offered to the public
will be found all those qualities that
should characterize o dictionary and
give it recognition Us u standard au.
thority,-namely,G large vocabulary, full
ness and cIearness Of definitions, CORRECTNESS
Of OrthOgraphy and pronunciation, and
just discrimination of synonyms. 1t is
indeed, in the truest sense, the STAND
ARD DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE, and is so accepted by the
great body of literary men. The truth
of this statement may be readily as
certained by an inspection of our lit
erary productions, particularly in re
gard to the spelling of certain words
where dictionaries differ. 1t will be
found that in at least three fou,th8 of the
standard ooorbs cfthe language and IN the
leading periodicals the photography is
according to Worcester. In fact, the
great literary interests of this country
and of England are now substantially
united in the use of the word forms
given in Worcester's Dictionary.

Two cases of assault were heard be-
fore Justice Parsons last Saturday af-
ternoon, the first being Emory Ball
and Abe Bailey vs. G. W. Davis. From
the evidence adduced the latter seem
ed to have acted in self-defense, but
went little beyond what the law de.
fines as such, and was fined one cent
and costs. In the second case Bali and
Bailey were charged with assaulting
Davis. They pleaded guilty and were
each fined S. and costs.

what True Merit will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee' s
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and elfectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by Physicians, as it
does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept in the house fol-
use when the diseases make their ap-
pearance, will save doctors bills and
a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, u
cts, large bottles.
